The Nissan Path

Hi all,
The time has come to replace all 4 tires on my 2010 SE 4x4 and i'm confused looking at tire sizes. Here's what i know for sure: the pathy is at stock height (for now), step rails and mud flaps have been removed. I know i want a taller and maybe little wider tire and i'm on stock 17" rims. What i don't know is what tire sizes i should be looking at? I've been looking at what America's tire shows as + size tires but that can't be all my options... (i hope) http://www.americastire.com/dtcs/tirePl ... T|pc|91752

If the tire guru's here can lend some advise i'd appreciate it. I've also searched around here and the more i read the more confused i get. Sorry in advance if this is a repatative question. Thank you tho for the help.

I'm running 266/70/17s duratracs on my 08 which are a 31.7 inch tire. They are wider and taller than the OEM tires. No rubbing for me. Loved how they perform.

Thx Volvite. I wonder why America's tire didn't list 265's as a plus size for the PF??? Would I be pushing the limits if I went with a 275 or 285?

265's are stock on the LE V8's. (265/60 18 ). I don't think some shops will mount a 285 on a 7.5" wheel. Check the tire specs and it will stat required widths and typically for a 285 minimum is 8".

The link wasn't working, but when you mention "Plus Sizing" I typically think of plus sizing the wheel while keeping the overall diameter the same. Whereas here, we usually like to add more diameter/taller tires.

But these are usually a little better to get the answer you're looking for.

As a general rule, 32-33's tend to fit with little to no modification on a stock height R51.

Anyone know how wide the 17" stock SE wheel is? I think it's 7.5" but I'm not sure..

Ordered a set of gGoodyear dura tracs today! Went with 285/70/17. So excited to have them put on!! Shod take a couple days to come in.

Nice selection on the tires, but I think without a lift you will probably rub.

Thanks! I'm expecting some rubbing at full turn. Went out and got a heat gun so I can trim what's needed. Tire shop called me on Saturday and said they were in but I was out golfing. Made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon for the install. I'll put up some pics when I get home.
